Wemos OLED shield example

In this example we look at another terrific little low cost shield for the Wemos mini, this time its the OLED shield. Lets look at the shield and some specs

oled_1

  • Screen Size: 64×48 pixels (0.66” Across)
  • Operating Voltage: 3.3V
  • Driver IC: SSD1306
  • Interface: IIC(I2C)
  • IIC Address: 0x3C or 0x3D

The shield uses the I2C pins, so you can still connect another I2C device (if it uses a different address) and the other pins are available

D1 mini Shield
D1 SCL
D2 SDA

 

Code

You will need to add the https://github.com/mcauser/Adafruit_SSD1306 library

The following code example is a simple hello world type example

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>

// SCL GPIO5
// SDA GPIO4
#define OLED_RESET 0  // GPIO0
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(OLED_RESET);

#define NUMFLAKES 10
#define XPOS 0
#define YPOS 1
#define DELTAY 2


#define LOGO16_GLCD_HEIGHT 16
#define LOGO16_GLCD_WIDTH  16


void setup()   {
  Serial.begin(9600);

  // by default, we'll generate the high voltage from the 3.3v line internally! (neat!)
  display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C);  // initialize with the I2C addr 0x3C (for the 64x48)
  // init done

  display.display();
  delay(2000);

  // Clear the buffer.
  display.clearDisplay();

  // text display tests
  display.setTextSize(1);
  display.setTextColor(WHITE);
  display.setCursor(0,0);
  display.println("Hello, world!");
  display.display();
  delay(2000);
  display.clearDisplay();

}


void loop() {

}

  1. Here’s what I had to do to see anything on the screen. (0,0) is too high and too far left

    // text display tests
    display.setTextSize(1);
    display.setTextColor(WHITE);
    display.setCursor(32,20);
    display.println(“Hello, world!”);
    display.display();

  2. // text display tests
    display.setTextSize(1);
    display.setTextColor(WHITE);
    display.setCursor(31,8);
    display.println(“123456789AB”);
    display.setCursor(31,16);
    display.println(“123456789AB”);
    display.setCursor(31,24);
    display.println(“123456789AB”);
    display.display();
    delay(2000);
    display.clearDisplay();

  3. @Mike Morrow. It’s because the Adafruit library isn’t designed for 64*48 displays. A forked version will likely work. It’s just finding one that is the problem. There are 326 forks… of varying quality!
